Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett was held out of practice Wednesday. Forsett was listed with an ankle injury on the practice report and reported to have "general soreness," but he's expected to be fine for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Miami Dolphins.

Forsett has taken over as the lead back in Baltimore and responded with the best stretch of his career. Over the last three games, Forsett has rushed for 400 yards and four touchdowns on 66 carries, averaging 6 yards per carry. His emergence has made Lorenzo Taliaferro and Bernard Pierce afterthoughts in the Ravens' backfield.
Fantasy impact: Forsett should be fine for Sunday's game, but check the final injury reports on Friday to be safe. The Dolphins typically have a strong run defense, but they gave up 277 rushing yards to the New York Jets on Monday night. Forsett can be safely fired up as a RB1 in all fantasy leagues, even if the ankle is still bothering him.
